I showed some of your recent posts to my wife.
She us a psychiatrist.
Do you want to know what her professional conclusions were? No, of course, you have heard them before, no doubt.

I have read many articles here that say much the same though I think ' international joke' is a bit strong. Certain the news reports are one of bewilderment more than anything - how can they stuff up so badly something so important?

I would sum up the general impression as:

One can't help but remark that this is a very dodgy thing for someone from a country with an unelected governing House of Aristocracy to say.

Re: How others see us.

I was always taught not to worry what others think about you as long as you know you are doing the right thing their opinion doesn't matter. I will carry on thinking that all through this mess because if we get out it's going to be better eventually anyway and if we don't get out then we have failed and that's for us to worry about not anyone else.

I think after today we certainly are an international joke Bruce. Mind you, if we get ourselves in much more of a tangle then I can see us abandoning the idea of Brexit to help prevent strangling ourselves.

It's true, I am afraid, we couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery at the moment. As you will gather I am fed up with the whole circus that has become Brexit and I am sure I am not the only one. Our politicians don't deserve to be paid in washers. All they are interested in is their own fat backsides and furthering their own perceived positions. We are now in the situation where it looks as if we could well have a new prime minister. I don't see us going anywhere soon with Brexit. Might as well rub it out and either leave well alone (my choice) or start all over again. However, IMO the damage has already been done to any credibility we might have had in Europe and the rest of the world. Sad.

Re: How others see us.

I don't think we are 'a joke' at all, tell that to the many countries including Russia who don't have the freedom to make their wishes known and to vote out their governments as we do.

Ok things may look like a shambles at the moment but at least it is a public shambles and not hidden away by a dictatorship.
